This year can be the year that your vote can make the difference. All the local and county offices are going to be on the ballot for you to cast your vote. This is the time to make your choice on who you want to make future decisions about Paris and Bourbon County Government.
They will be in charge of making decisions that can effect your personal day to day life. So put some time in the thought process before you cast a vote. Only you can decide what is best for you and your family. The main thing is to make sure YOU VOTE don’t let others decide your future without having your voice heard.
The past couple years has been tough on all of us with all the economic issues are country is facing. We need people in office making solid good decision for the whole community, not individuals who are just it for the “what is in it for me attitude.”
If you are not sure about how a candidate stands on an issue, don’t be afraid to speak up and ask? If they share your values then vote for them. If not vote for the one who does. Just because you think someone is a nice person, they may not share your same views on a particular subject. In that case, if you vote them in office, don’t be surprised when they do the opposite of what you thought!

I personally would like to see Plummer, Gray and a new Mayor elected onto the council. Hopefully their first order of business would be to think about the public being able to attend meetings again, instead of a selfish daytime morning meeting that makes the current councils schedule more pleasant! It's just impossible for the general public to be there now!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the early morning meeting schedule. The public is less likely to attend because the mayority work during the day and can't afford to miss work to attend a meeting.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear each candiate running for office explain what they are going to do too improve our city and county government.
Talk about issues and what they intend to do about them.
I sincerely hope that people focus on issues that effect our everyday life and our childrens future, not just the good ole boy politics that are self served.
